I hesitated a bit before ordering this model in light of previous comments, but in the end it rather pleased me. The sound is good but the USB connection by my MP3 audio cable makes a very bad sound despite several tests performed. I do use it as USB. The remote control may be convenient (but not essential) but some buttons do not work while it is new! In total, this transmitter saved me having to break my piggy bank for a new MP3 equipment and for the price this product meets my expectations pretty well.
Addition of 26/12: HS USB port from a good month, so a little too fragile equipment left in the trash!
